Why CMI

Why UK shippers trust CMI on the Irish Sea

Since 2021 every load into the Republic of Ireland has needed declarations in both directions, and a hold at the port costs you a day. This is what changes when the freight and the customs sit on one desk.

    Independent and UK-based, running daily Ireland departures and scheduled EU lanes from our own hub, with a team that has spent decades on these exact routes.
